Spanish authorities said at least 18 people died during attempts to enter the enclave. In response, Spain deployed military personnel to ass the Civil Guard in restoring control of the border.Videos from the area showed large groups of migrants, many of them young men but also families with women and children, moving around breakwaters and entering Spanish territory.Approximately 10 million of Spain’s 50 million citizens are foreign-born, which is a significant increase in the country’s total immigrant population in recent decades.
